What Makes This Skin Special

Let's talk about what makes Hextech Alistar worth your RP. This isn't your standard RP purchase - it's part of a special promotion or event, making it a bit more exclusive than your typical skin. It might be available exclusively through a battlepass, gacha systems (The Sanctum), or something else.

Here's what you get with Hextech Alistar: ✓ Brand new visual effects that add serious flair to your abilities ✓ Fresh animations that make Alistar move in new, thematic ways ✓ A custom recall animation that's worth showing off before you head back to base

Unlike some skins that come with a rainbow of chromas, Hextech Alistar keeps it focused with just the base design. So sadly, no chroma options here.

One thing to keep in mind: this skin is available through the loot system. So if you're the type to save your RP, you might get lucky with a hextech chest or event orb. But don't count on it - if you really want this skin, buying it directly is your best bet.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get Hextech Alistar if it's not in the store?

Hextech Alistar is a special skin that can't be purchased directly with RP. Instead, you need to access it through special means such as The Sanctum (gacha system), Battle Pass progression, watching esports, or limited-time promotions. Check the current event details in the League client for the exact method.

Can I gift Hextech Alistar to a friend?

No, Hextech Alistar cannot be gifted directly to friends. Since it's a special skin obtained through alternative means (like Battle Pass, The Sanctum, or other events) rather than direct RP purchase, there is no gifting option available. Your friend will need to participate in the event or promotion to obtain it themselves.

How does Hextech Alistar compare to other Alistar skins?

Hextech Alistar is a special skin that can't be directly purchased with RP, making it more exclusive than standard Alistar skins. These special skins often have production quality comparable to higher-tier skins (1350 RP+) with unique thematic elements. What sets it apart from lower-tier Alistar skins is the combination of custom visual effects and animations, which give a completely fresh feel to the champion. For a detailed comparison with all other Alistar skins, check out our Alistar page that lists all skins.

What's the best way to get Hextech Alistar?

The most efficient way to obtain Hextech Alistar depends on its specific acquisition method. For Battle Pass skins, purchase the pass early and complete missions consistently. For Sanctum skins, use the free orbs first, then strategically purchase additional orbs if needed. For event-specific skins, check the event details in the League client for the most efficient path. Sometimes these special skins reappear in future events, but there's no guarantee, so it's best to grab them when initially available.
